Let's imagine a new battery that improves energy density 3 times with a 15-minute charge time. I bet you already understand the inherent problem here.
Now let's imagine a battery with 100 times the energy density of current designs with a charging time of one minute. Utopia!
Well, not so fast. Yea, many of you already know the problem of getting energy to your awesome battery. Using Ohm's law we know that a 100KWh battery would require a charge voltage of about 100 thousand volts at 100 amps for 5 minutes.
Now imagine half the US population trying to charge that awesome battery.
I'm gonna be rich. I just invested in a hamster ranch. We're raising the little creatures and manufacturing hamster wheel generators. There will be one in every EV. I need a distributor partner and a source of hamster food. Send shekels, please.
How do you deal with the poop?
How many pellets per mile?
Please send me your crowd funding link. I don't want to miss out!
The poop falls on the streets. It deters BLM riots. Kinda slippery when it rains, though. I'm still calculating mileage, I'll get back to you.
They're already trying to bring down the grid, this would sure speed that up.
Don't forget the required cooling system draw.
